President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night.

“Just like we drew it up,” Biden posted on X alongside a photo of “Dark Brandon,” the meme created by hardcore—and very online—supporters of Donald Trump that Biden and his team loved so much they adopted it as their own.

The post was apparently referencing far-right conspiracy theories which posit the NFL and high-level government operatives conspired to rig the Super Bowl in Kansas City’s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

    1. Why would anyone think Biden is actually posting this shit to social media himself?

    2. Why do they keep hiring interns that want to make Biden seem like trump?

    All I want is a functional adult in the White House. But that’s just not an option these day.

    I’d ask if “moderates” ever feel embarrassed over this stupid shit, but it’s been obvious for decades their line is habitually right above republican.

    So whatever bullshit Republicans are fine with, give it 4-8 years and both parties are going to act like it’s normal.

    Biden could have given the traditional pre game interview and alleviated fears of his ability. Instead he cancels it for the second year in a row and the media pretends he’s posting “dank memes” and that’s just as good.

      1. I don’t care.

      2. What?

      All I want is a functional adult in the White House.

      You have one. Hence the U.S. economy getting back on track, inflation dropping, unemployment low, fuel costs low and infrastructure finally getting rebuilt. Plus much cheaper insulin for seniors.

      Ohhhhh! Wait, what you meant is that all you want is someone to do exactly what you want them to do. My mistake.

        Woohoo I am glad we care more about money instead of the fact that we are supporting the killing of innocent children.

        Thank god that almighty dollar is there, it is so much more important than human life!

          This is probably a foreign concept, but it’s important to understand in case you’re ever in a plane crash. When the oxygen masks come down, you put your oxygen mask on first. Then you help others.

          You’re welcome, if you’re ever in a plane crash I just saved your life and the people around you. And yes you are welcome because you clearly did not understand the concept based on the comment I’m replying to.

            So in this analogy, the ‘people in the plane around you’ are actually the Palestinian civilialians that we are genociding? And you think it is fine to financially and rhetorically support an ongoing genocide as long as domestic issues are being taken care of?

            This seems to be the opposite of the “we can walk and chew gum at the same time” type of rhetoric we hear often from the Democrats.

          Human life is supported by the almighty dollar. Like it or not, that’s how it is. I have to feed my children, don’t I? And Biden did the best he could to get the economy back on track. He succeeded. But by all means, let’s not give him any credit because he is not perfect.

              False equivalence they aren’t both ending in death.
